Auv 1179: Beautiful property with 2 houses, 2 barns, land and viewsThis lovely property is within walking distance of consists of a main house with an adjoining barn, a second, smaller house, a barn across the little lane, and a plot of land with the remains of a former building. Thanks to the layout of the buildings and the partly walled gardens, full privacy is guaranteed even though the whole sits in a small hamlet with several inhabited homes.Both houses are immediately habitable, though not fully modernised they still have that good old vibe of how houses used to be imagined. For instance, the small house has brand-new made-to-measure double-glazed windows ready, but the original windows are still in place just because theyre so beautiful.In the main house, everything is nicely high and spacious. It was likely built for the more well-to-do families of the area.The four gardens slope slightly downhill, but have been beautifully levelled into terraces. Openings in hedges and small walls provide access to the next part. The total property includes 2400m2 of land, with a lovely open view at the front of the main house, looking over your own grounds and further out towards Pionsat. There is a well. The guest house also has its own charming walled garden.Both houses are connected to a single system for electricity, water and septic tank. The septic system is relatively recent, but too small to support all rooms at full occupancy. However, theres space to easily add another tank and enlarge the drain field. Each house has a recent electric water heater in its respective basement.In the main house (interior footprint 70m2 per floor), a central front door opens into a central hallway. To the left, theres the dining room (17.5m2, ceiling height 2.75m) with fireplace and wood stove, and a simple kitchen (6m2) which also houses the gas boiler for central heating. The kitchen could easily be extended into an adjoining space (8m2), which also gives access to the back of the house, leading towards the guest house. On the right side of the hallway is the living room (18m2). At the back, theres a utility room (4.5m2) and a beautiful, fully renovated shower room (5.5m2) with a large walk-in shower, wall-mounted toilet and sink. Lovely.
